Why You Will Fail Your New Year's Resolutions Going Into 2025 - Unless You Understand This First
Many People are thinking about their New Year's Resolutions as January 1st Quickly Approaches.
There are going to be Many Resolutions Made.
Weight Loss.
Improved Diet.
New Business Ventures.
Making it "Big".
But the Reality is that Most New Year's Resolutions Fail.
Completely.
There are Estimates that say that up to 95% of Resolutions Fail.
Some of those say it happens by the End of January.
Now, that may be Extreme, but it could be True.
How many people do you Know who Stuck with their Resolutions?
The Entire Year?
From Beginning to End?
I can Count on One Hand how many people I Know...
One of those people was Me!
In fairness, there have been Many Years (Most) where I have Failed as Well.
Here's the thing though...
Why does this Happen?
How is it that So Many Resolutions Fail?
Well, if we look at it there's a simple Truth...
New Year's Resolutions Fail for the Same Reason that Most Plans Fail.
We have the Wrong Motivations.
We go into things Expecting Certain Outcomes.
Fit Body.
Fortune.
Fame.
But the Reality is that None of these Speak to our Being as Humans.
Deep Down, they Mean Nothing to Us.
Which is Why these Plans Fail.
The Motivations are Meaningless.
Which means that the Inevitable Happens.
Life Does What It Always Does.
It Hits a Hard Patch.
Things Blow Up.
They Get Difficult.
Our Faces fall in the Mud and Gravel.
Reality Strikes.
So we are Struck with all of these...
Sometimes Simultaneously...
As they say - When it Rains, it Pours...
Then We Feel No Motivation.
We begin to Ask Questions.
Is it Worth All of This?
Why Should I Continue to Suffer?
Is It Really This Difficult?
Do I Have What It Takes?
I say this with all the Love Inside of Me...
No, You Don't.
"Not" because You Are Incapable - the Truth is You're Capable of So Much More than You Realize...
You Do Not Have What It Takes Because You Lack Proper Motivation.
As a Human, when We have the Proper Motivation, we become Nearly Limitless.
We have Taken to the Skies without Wings.
We have Gone to the Depths of the Ocean without Gills.
We have Traveled through Space!
Few things seem Out of Our Reach...
Except when we have Improper Motivation.
Without the Right Motivation?
Everything Becomes Out Of Reach.
Everything.
It is Our Motivation that Determines If We "Stay" In the Game.
When we Hit the Hard Patch?
Our Motivation Keeps Us Going Through Until the Next Smooth Patch.
When Things Blow Up?
Our Motivation Gets Us to Pick Up Pieces to Salvage.
When It Becomes Difficult?
Our Motivation Provides the Grit to Make It Through.
When Our Faces Go through the Mud and Gravel?
Our Motivation Allows Us to Brush It Off.
When Reality Strikes?
Our Motivation helps us say I Can Do This All Day.
Or perhaps it is better to say...
I Can Do This All Year.
It All Begins with the Motivation.
That Motivation must Drive Deep into Your Being.
It must be Beyond Just Logic or Desire.
Many People Fail Doing the Logical Thing.
Many People Fail Chasing their Desires.
You Have to Go Further than These Surface Level Motivations.
The Motivation Must Push You Through "Every" Challenge.
There is One Small Detail We Must Also Distinguish...
There are Two Types of "Motivation".
There is "Day-to-Day" Motivation many people speak about which has to do with Momentary Desire and Our Emotions.
This is "Not" the Motivation I am Talking About, and it is "Not" Reliable Either.
Then there is "Core" Motivation which Few People Understand.
It is Beyond Our Emotions.
Beyond the Day-To-Day.
Sometimes it is Even Beyond Today's Logic.
That is the Kind of Motivation You Must Seek.
That is How You Attain Your Goals and Resolutions.
